Is it best practice to upgrade Android using CodeWorks for Android 1R4 vs Android sdk manager?

Haskellf · August 10, 2016, 11:29pm

I understand that CodeWorks for Android 1R4 is for installation but should it also be used for updates in place of the Android Sdk Manager?

I haven’t read anywhere to use it for updates, but I noticed that when I execute the program, it lists the components that need action and those that do not. Previously, I was using the android manager but now I have feeling that the Nvidia CodeWorks for Android Component Manager would be best for updates? Is this best practice for updates?

The ue4 android startup page says to use 1R4.
https://docs.unrealengine.com/latest/INT/Platforms/Android/GettingStarted/1/index.html
I think 1R1 is dated back to ue4.2. I understand it’s for install, but looking to find out if I should also use for updates?

I would advise using NVIDIA CodeWorks for Android Component Manager: CodeWorks for Android 1R4u2. You can locate CodeWorks here:

Binary - EngineInstallLocation\Unreal Engine[EngineVersion]\Engine\Extras\Android
GitHub - EngineSyncLocation\UE4\Engine\Extras\Android

Thanks!
